The practice of carrying melted cast iron direct from the blast furnace to the Siemens hearth or the Bessemer converter saves both money and time.

Into this opening at the top the metal from the mixer is poured and when the converter has been sufficiently charged a blast of cooled air is blown in at the bottom through the molten metal.
This converter resembles in shape some of the old mortars used in the American Civil War--barrel-shaped structures suspended vertically by trunnions at the middle and having an opening at the top.
The bus bars are so arranged that they may be divided into any number of sections not exceeding the number of converter units, by means of movable links which, in their normal condition, constitute a part of the bus bars.
In like manner, between each converter unit and the bus bars an oil switch is connected into the high potential circuit.
Each arc lamp fed from a converter must be equipped with resistance.
It must be borne in mind that one may suddenly be forced to deal with an operator who has never seen a converter and knows nothing of its operation; and there is also always the possibility of some trouble with the machine.
Figure 145 is a diagram showing the connections of the Martin Rotary Converteras installed by the Northwestern Electric Company of Chicago.
Synchronous alternating-current motors are not used in theater work but the rotary converter is frequently used and may be considered as such.
A Martin rotary converter to be operated from a single-phase line is shown in Figure 147.
The voltage delivered to the converter must be the same as that desired at the direct-current terminals.
The labor required for each converter will be about six men per shift.
The converter is turned on its axis by a screw and worm wheel, which is manipulated by a workman standing on a platform at the opposite arm of the crane.
The sweep of the crane is such as to allow the converter to be brought close up to the tap hole of the blast furnace or cupola, so that the use of open gutters for the fluid metal may be avoided as much as possible.
The outer trunnion bearing is open, so that by slightly raising and lowering the ram of the crane, the converter may be left suspended to a weighing machine in front of the furnace, if it is required to determine the weight of the charge.
He boosted me into the chamber of the converter and pointed out an opening near the top, about twelve by twenty-four inches.
Cap'n, I been overhaulin' my converter units, I jist come in.
Thomas was opening a panel on the side of the converter unit.
There was only one door, and the gray bulk of the converter unit which broke down wastes into their component elements for re-use nearly filled the tiny space.
With the converter in operation, the first step in the cycle was the evacuation of the ducts to a near-perfect vacuum.
I set the control on the converter to start up in ten minutes.
They put The Thing onto contragravity again, and brought her down in place; the work of lifting off the reactor and the converter and the rest of it, piece by piece, began.
Neither the converter nor the reactor had sustained any damage while the fissionables were burning out.
In 1883, Mr Snelus was awarded the Bessemer gold medal of the Iron and Steel Institute 'as the first man who made pure steel from impure iron in a Bessemer converter lined with basic materials.
The most elaborate display of fireworks ever devised by Mr. Pain would be but a poor thing compared with the spectacle presented when a converter is poured.
Even before his accumulators failed, generator after generator burned out, the defensive screen collapsed, and the red converter beam attacked voraciously the unresisting metal of those prodigious walls.

To mass produce theConverter will take time--factories will have to be tooled up for it, and all that.

It won't even be patented in the usual sense; we can't allow the Converter to become public property at this time.
He led them over to the wall where the Converter had been hidden.

Granted, the Converter is not something one would accidentally stumble across, nor automatically deduce from the 'previous state of the art'.
Have you considered what would happen if you put theConverter on the market, Mr. Bending?
But the Converter itself, if I may say so, is one of the most original and elegant devices I have seen in many a day.

He pointed to me, then made a bang-bang gesture with the finger, followed by a point back over and above his shoulder, toward where that converter had been in relation to himself.
But Baxter-- The converter had been designed with one function: to turn ferrous oxide, plain old rusted iron, into its components.
The original Bessemer process was, therefore, modified by Thomas and Gilchrist, and the converter for this kind of iron is lined with dolomite and lime (basic lining).
If, however, phosphorus and sulphur are present, they are not removed if the converter has a silica (acid) lining.
In the Bessemer process for converting iron into steel, cast iron is melted up in a vessel called a converter and, by the aid of a powerful blast blown through the molten iron, most of the impurities are burnt off.
The above list will hopefully give you a few useful examples demonstrating the appropriate usage of "converter" in a variety of sentences. We hope that you will now be able to make sentences using this word. Other words: apostle; component; device; evangelist; generator; parts; relay
